Colorado Christians claim their State wants to “Ban the Bible”
A family member sent me this news item:
“Section 8 of Senate Bill 200 is a wide open door for any judge to censor anything that condemns homosexuality, including Scripture,” Colorado State Rep. Kevin Lundberg said.
Many Christians fear that one day the Bible will be considered illegal in America.
“I do believe that the Bible is banned, under the plain language of this new statute,” Steve Crampton, general counsel of the pro-family Liberty Counsel, said, indicating he believes that day is already here. — “Censoring the Bible? It Could Happen in CO“, CBNnews, retrieved 2008-Aug-20.
Could there really be such a bill under consideration? Fortunately, the State of Colorado posts all bills under consideration by the Senate in PDF format: Bill 08-200 is no exception.
This whole fiasco appears to be much ado about nothing: the bill in question basically prohibits owners of businesses (not churches or private associations, mind you) from doing things like posting “gays not allowed” signs.
